“Knutson throws it up,

AND ITS KNUTSON AT THE RIM, WHAT A PLAY”

I like Foden and Bellingham for the defensive side here too. It comes down to Rogers being comfortable without the ball and his ability to carry forward through tight spaces

I think England will be strong with whoever they play in this spot, but Rogers has done incredibly well to create competition

He’s currently the starter and I think there’s a real argument to be made that he enables Harry Kane more flexibility than the other 3. Think he’s a very real contender

Need a coach complaining and hitting the air Alex wrist gesture at kickoff

Head cutting out passing options to the right fullback, smh

Count of games over 80 and under 40 would be interesting

PTSD to my brother playing all his home academy games there. Eerie empty stadium and twisted ankles for days
